Parent: We have had a phenomenal experience at Marshall. We chose Marshall for our daughter because of the individualized attention and small class size - she was getting lost in her public school classroom and kind of pushed aside so the teachers could focus on the students who were struggling most. We've found that the small class size at Marshall allows teachers to really know their students, and know how they learn, and as an independent school, they have the complete freedom to tailor their teaching and lessons accordingly. Education is important to our family, and we feel that the best we can do as parents is give our daughter the strongest possible foundation early on, that it will serve her well through her entire life - and that Marshall is the place for that. Also, financial aid significantly helped. My daughter's favorite things are lunch (haha), the 3D-printer in the art room, and the science lab. We also love the close community, safety, passionate teachers, and beautiful campus!... Read 40 reviews

Senior: What I enjoyed most about my time at Hermantown Senior High was my quality education and being able to see my friends everyday. I have 180 students in my graduating class so I know pretty much everyone who attends my school, this allows me to meet and create relationships with people that I will have for the rest of my life. I also enjoy the teachers, they are great people who are willing to help you learn as long as you are willing to put in the time and the work to become a better student. I have learned a lot of things during my time at HHS and it has made me become a better student, person, friend, teammate, and leader.... Read 91 reviews

Junior: Teachers are knowledgeable are care deeply about students. A very substantial amount of teachers have graduated from Maranatha and have returned to teach. Although they don't get paid nearly as much as they would at a public high school, the teachers find this work as a form of ministry and I have never heard of such love for their students. I have never felt unsafe in this school. They have multiple armed security guards at all times during school and a few stay after hours. I am taking PSEO and am a semester in at Bethel University and feel extremely prepared for every class I'm taking. This school is very academically rigorous and definitely prepared me for college. I've heard about very deep bullying problems at other schools and it seems commonplace in our society but never in my nine years of attendance at Maranatha Christian Academy have I experienced bullying, it's just not in the culture. The cafeteria food is decently overpriced but students are encouraged to bring a lunch... Read 103 reviews

Parent: The curriculum is strong, with students working above grade level in many subjects. Teachers set high expectations and then help each child achieve those goals in a warm and nurturing environment. Each day students’ folders are filled with the work that they have completed so that parents can be informed of their child’s progress. Any obstacles are handled at early stages and the child is treated with the utmost respect every step of the way. The emphasis on STEAM is helping to prepare students for a successful future. Every member of the staff knows each kid--not only their names, but their individual personalities. Additional benefits of ACE include smaller class sizes, character development, a uniform that minimizes drama in the mornings, responsive staff, and an exceptional facility. I am confident that my children have a strong educational foundation and love of learning that will serve them well going forward.... Read 7 reviews
